"Cincinnati Woman Shocked by Cancer Diagnosis via Email"
A Warren County woman, Jamie Sweeney, learned she had cancer through an email notification from her electronic medical portal, MyChart, rather than from a doctor. This situation, resulting from the 21st Century Cures Act, has sparked concerns about the emotional impact of receiving serious medical news without professional interpretation. While some patients appreciate immediate access to their medical records, others, like Sweeney, feel distressed and unsupported. The debate continues on how best to balance timely information access with compassionate care delivery.
